[opensuse] How do I get the graphical boot menu back
Some how I installed or upgraded without the graphical boot menu. Is there a way to get it back without a complete reinstall ?

Check this line in /boot/grub/menu.lst gfxmenu (hd0,2)/boot/message (hd0,2) for GRUB is /dev/sda3 for kernel /dev/sda3 is my boot partition Also check do you have file /boot/message . -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Also check do you have file /boot/message .
I do not have a file /boot/message Duaine -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have forgotten to say that (hd0,2) above points to my boot partition. You have to edit that to point to yours. GRUB numbering is different than kernel. (hd0,0) > 1 disk 1 partition > /dev/sda1 (hd0,1) > 1 disk 2 partition > /dev/sda2 ... (hd1,0) > 2 disk 1 partition > /dev/sdb1 GRUB starts counting from 0, instead of 1.
Also check that you have file /boot/message .
I do not have a file /boot/message
Install package that has /boot/message: zypper in gfxboot-branding-openSUSE-4.0.14-4.1 Also check that file /boot/grub/menu.lst has gfxmenu line as above, otherwise it will ignore /boot/message -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

you aren't helping yourself much here! a google search provides answers to creating your own /boot/message webpin provides a download link /boot/message undoubtedly resides on the install dvd. ps: webpin is similar(same as) the package search facility on opensuse.org. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
